    I havent been here in more than a year and they extended their restaurant and there is so much more space! We got some drinks and they were so fresh and unique. We got the fried chicken and it was good as i remembered it, jambalaya was okay, and the eggplant salad was nothing special. They hired a close up magician to walk around the restaurant and he was impressive!!

    Amazing food. Amazing service. Cajun and spicy. They expanded and still the greatest Cajun food.

    Vic & Al's isn't your traditional cajun restaurant. It gives more of a trendy, Austin vibe which may not be for everyone. The setup is a little different than a traditional restaurant. There are two sides--one focused on drinks and the other on food. It's not really full-service dining, as you don't order from your table. Instead, you order at the counter and they'll bring everything out to you. For my partner and I, we shared a Fried Shrimp Po Boy, the Shrimp & Grits, the Gumbo, and ended with Fried Bread Pudding. Like many reviews have stated, the dishes were definitely a bit more salty compared to the traditional Cajun flavors I know and love. Just because there's more salt does NOT mean more flavor! SERVICE: The true highlight of our experience was how friendly, welcoming and helpful everyone was. The place is also super dog-friendly, and the kind of place that's easy to hang out and relax for a bit.

    My husband and I went to Dai Due for our anniversary and were a little disappointed at the lack of cocktails so we decided to check out Vic and Als for a little post dinner drink! The vibe is easy going and friendly and I love how they make most of their mixers/bitters/etc! It was fun looking at all the different labels and both bartenders were happy to talk about the various items. I had fun explaining to my husband that the big jar of cochineal on the counter were dried bugs lol!! Apparently they use it to dye their aperol- cool! I also was curious about the Szechuan amaro I saw and the bartender let me try just a teensy bit of it with the warning that it will make your tongue go numb (which it totally did! XD). The drinks were great, I got an espresso martini which was served in an adorable little jar and was super tasty, not syrupy sweet and I loved the (homemade) pecan bitters. I would love to go back and try out more of their drinks! All in all a very fun bar and great bartenders who seem to love what they do.

    Man oh man where do I begin...? Of allll the times I've eaten out, I've NEVER EVER been greeted at the door AND given a tour of the restaurant simultaneously! It seemed like Ms Dani was there waiting on me! She showed me around and set my expectations on how and what to order. My best friend and I joined in on HH here and couldn't decide so we ordered one of each app on the HH menu. The gumbo was realllly good! Not a lot of okra (which being a southerner I can appreciate), the red beans and rice were delightful. The boudin balls were fried to perfection . The bean patties had a delicious sauce it came with. Everything was great but the service was even BETTER! Top notch! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend!! 20/10! Thank you Ms Dani, for EVERYTHING! You were wonderful and an absolute pleasure to work with this evening.

    Fancy fish: swordfish. Wow how flavorful it is. The swordfish is perfectly cooked. Cochon de lait po boy: pork po boy. It's fresh.

    My cousin loves this place so he said we had to stop in while we were visiting. It's a cute country-esque place. Looks upscale with the chandeliers and decor. We ordered off their happy hour menu - which honestly, you get a good amount of food for a rly cheap price. We ordered the $4 gumbo (a little spicy but super filling), the red beans and rice, red bean fritters (pretty good!) blackened catfish and beignets. Their purple drink cocktail was super refreshing too!

    Vic & Al's delivers on what a true Cajun scratch kitchen should be. Everything is made in-house, and the daily changing menu keeps it fresh and worth revisiting. We went during happy hour (3-6pm) for half-priced appetizers and drinks, a great deal. The boudin balls were flavorful and perfectly crisp. I had the Fancy Fish (swordfish over mashed sweet potatoes with broccolini), which had deep, balanced flavors. My husband's Cajun Caesar was just as good, with moist, well-seasoned chicken. Beautiful décor, friendly staff, and food that speaks for itself. We'll be back.

    Vic & Al's is in my top 3 favorite restaurants in Austin. I cannot recommend this place enough especially after their renovation cause ever since then, I feel that eating there is an even better experience. Adorned with very kitschy and atmsopheric interior decor (my favorite are the inexplicable chairs on the walls), the restaurant is a great vibe. They also got their seating process down to a science. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted and given your table number. Before going to your table, you can get an amazing craft cocktail at the bar. I am a huge fan of the sabine pass which is their cucumber cocktail and it is perfection. Then you order your food at the register and their rotating menu is something to behold. For this specific trip, we got the crawfish jambalaya, blackened catfish on rice, and the interesting eggplant parmesean. All were hits, not a single miss. This place knows how to do seasoning as any bite you take, you're hit with an explosive array of herbs and spices that give you the kick you need to keep biting and savor every taste. So lucky to live down the street from here and one of my absolute favorite dinner spots in the city.

    I was in the neighborhood and then realized that we were within a half mile of good ol' Vic and Al's. It was a nice day so I grabbed my brother and we walked over for some lunch. The gumbo was as amazing as ever. Just perfect. And their beet salad was a refreshing side dish. This was my first time here during the daylight. And while I prefer the evening experience, the food and service was just as good. The music is different every time we visit but always good. Today's tracks had a 60's hippie vibe but without the usual cliche artists and songs we've all heard before. We enjoyed that. I took a photo of our food and sent it to my wife and said, "Guess where we are?" She recognized their famous gumbo and knew immediately :-)

    I came to Vic and Al's for a late lunch, and at first glance the menu didn't seem to offer many vegetarian options besides piecing together a few sides. Luckily, my sister discovered that you can customize a vegetarian po'boy, and hers looked amazing--I wish I had known that was an option beforehand! Since I didn't, I ended up sharing sides with my dad, and doing it family-style turned out to be a great idea. We ordered the oyster mushroom salad, bean fritters, and the beet and goat cheese salad. My sister also got a side of beans and rice. The fritters were the standout--three per serving and surprisingly substantial, with great flavor. I enjoyed almost everything except the oyster mushroom salad; the dressing was a bit too heavy and drenched the whole dish. Service was solid as well. We were sitting on the patio where the sun was blasting directly at us, but someone quickly came out to lower the blinds, which made a huge difference and was much appreciated. Overall, a tasty spot--especially if you're willing to get creative with the vegetarian options or share a spread of sides.

    went to try another cajon spot as I wanted to get some jambalaya.. well, at least more cajon before I leave end up ordering pretty much the same thing here, catfish courtbouillon. another catfish... i was thinking, it come with rice and there is shrimp and there is roux, might as well get the catfish and lets have a showdown... well, it wasn't even close... price wise, it is +6 ... i might have end up tipping more here as i was too lazy to change the options down. end up doing 18% tip... so it was total 34. actually more expensive here with less... less portions, no free sides, and i didnt order a beer... anyways, the food was pretty good. it has more of tomato based roux taste... not the same. the shrimp was the highlight. it was bigger and perhaps cook and seasoned separately. service was kinda weird. you order upfront and they take the food to you... should i even tip? kinda confusing...i got a cup and pour water for myself initially. then the waiter came and refill it. nevertheless, the waiter was very polite when answering my questions about the menu initially. can't give this place more than 3 stars food wise, it didn't come with free side and the portion of the fish was smaller and price was higher... triple no no ....perhaps it was a different class restaurant... don't seem like it. maybe just different real estate... if this was a 5 star dining in the westin hotel or something, then I can understand the rip off.. but I think both are same class... anyways, food is good. slight edge with the shrimp but roux per my preference, I give it to the other place. i think the portion of the fish just shocked me, as i had the same dish 2 days ago at another spot... that affected my experience here. i would say, this is most likely a college hangout, the other place would not have the same crowd.. here, you can probably see sigma chi or the tri delts come in and have a party at the bar... probably a comparison of huntington beach vs long beach... thus the difference... just a matter of location...

    The aesthetic is great and as soon as you walk in it smells amazing, which immediately gets you excited for the food. You start a tab when you enter and order at the counter, which is easy and pretty smooth. I got the lunch combo plus the chicken and beignets. For the lunch combo, I chose the half po boy and gumbo. Both were flavorful and seasoned really well. Not too salty, not bland, just solid and comforting. The gumbo especially felt well balanced and satisfying for a lunch portion. The chicken and beignets were pretty great overall. The beignets were definitely the highlight and easily the best part of that dish. Soft, fluffy, and really enjoyable. The chicken was fine but not as memorable. There might have been a bit too much sauce, which made both the chicken and the beignets a little soggy at times. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience.

For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share.

I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST.

I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

I was impressed with the chicken fried steak and the complimentary corn muffins and sweet potato biscuits. I even got a slice of sweet potato pie once near Thanksgiving. But Hoover's closed down the S.A. restaurant a few months later. No biggie. I'll just go dine at the original one in Austin. A few months later on a rainy and ugly day in Austin in March 2006 I rode the bus from downtown to here. The restaurant was huge and roomy and I got seated but had to wait a long time for a waiter and left as soon as I saw people that got seated after me got served first. A few months later I rode the bus to here and got seated and was served by a young white guy who seemed exhausted and wanted to be anywhere except work. 20 years later I found out the sad news that Hoover's last day in business would be today May 31,2026. I drove here from San Antonio and noticed how much the restaurant has changed. It got smaller inside. Maybe the 2020 pandemic had something to do with that. I got seated and waited on by a friendly black waiter and ordered an Arnold Palmer and a cup of gumbo for an appetizer which was good, hot and satisfying. For the entree I got the chicken fried steak with black eyed peas and buttered spinach. The sides were okay but the CFS was a bit tough when I cut into it. For dessert, a slice of chocolate cream pie was the perfect way to end the meal. I came here one last time last week and got here earlier than I had arrived last time. I was waited on by a Hispanic waiter who seemed friendly but I had a weird feeling he was staring at me weird whenever he left my table. For appetizer I ordered a small cornbread and 2 biscuit muffins. They no longer served the free corn muffins and sweet potato biscuits like they used to serve 20 years ago. I got the Jamaican jerk chicken and a hot sausage link with cowboy beans and coleslaw. The beans were great and the slaw was okay. The perk chicken seemed a bit dry but good and the sausage was good but not as spicy as I expected. The cornbread was good and so were the biscuit muffins that were big for just 99 cents a pop. I ordered the banana pudding for dessert and that was a good conclusion to my last meal here at Hoover's. Hoover's Cooking is an Austin original that will be greatly missed. I hope whatever restaurant that moves into this soon to be vacant space will serve good food at an affordable price and won't be like the other places on Manor that serve outrageous prices for food that is just mediocre or subpar.

My beautiful girlfriend, traveling home from Vancouver, had a morning layover in Austin just recently on a weekday, and I got us a reservation to Paperboy East. Compared to the weekends, their schedule was a lot more open. On the weekends it can be nearly impossible to get a spot unless it's a few weeks in advance. We had a reservation at 8 am right when they opened, and when we walked in, we were seated immediately. The place looks like a modern twist on the old-school diners your grandparents love. There's also an upstairs and downstairs patio. Plenty of space! We were sat at one of the two-person tables. To start, I ordered their house drip coffee while my girlfriend got their "Lil Remi," an iced cappuccino with salted caramel. The black coffee was excellent and flavorful, while my girlfriend thought her Lil Remi was like a milkier shaken espresso that she really liked. From their starters, we ordered their Blueberry Lemon Pop Tart to share. I am a sucker for a homemade Pop Tart, and the jam on the inside was extremely fresh, and the icing and crust of the Pop Tart itself was sturdy and full of flavor. For our entrees, I ordered their Texas Hash with added avocado while my girlfriend ordered their famous Paperboy Pancake with chocolate chips as a full breakfast with bacon and two over-hard eggs. It wasn't a long wait at all to get our food. The Texas hash looked great and was presented quite nicely, which is a shame because I immediately proceeded to mash it all together to make sure every bite had a perfect balance of the roasted pork, sweet potatoes, egg, and avocado. It was very filling and substantial, which is great because I needed it to last me up to dinner. The pancake is the star of the show and is worth the order alone. The flying saucer they serve rises like a cake in the oven and is extremely fluffy. She was surprised with how it was a traditional pancake but loved how moist it was for its size. A perfect pancake to her. A perfect pancake to me because she couldn't finish it, so I took it to go and ate the last few bites immediately after dropping her off at the airport. For being an upscale diner in the prime area of Austin, I knew Paperboy was going to be pricey, but I honestly thought that it would crack $100 before tip between the two of us. I was very happy to see it was not even close to that and cost us about $80 with tip. To me, that felt fair for Austin, and I would pay that price any day of the week for a breakfast like we had. I've had a few of the locally owned brunch and breakfast spots in Austin and concur with the masses that this sits strongly at the top of the list. Best pancakes, best atmosphere, and the best times.

    My husband and I came in today and the service was phenomenal, as was the food!…read more My husband got the Brisket Burrito... and it is life changing -- it is now a favorite and a pregnancy craving. Their fried chicken sandwich was audibly crisp with fresh tomato and lettuce that I made two meals out of. To end the perfect meal... my husband actually coordinated with staff to create "Gender Reveal" pancakes! I didn't realize what they were until I got to the yummy surprise! Their cream is delicious! The pancakes were soft and sweet! The experience, unforgettable. It brought happy tears to my eyes and we really appreciate the thought and care put into our day. We will DEFINITELY be repeat customers!

    As a Jersey girl, I LOVE a diner breakfast, but Phoebe's is not a NJ style diner. This place is…read morevery Austin, with breakfast cocktails and Mexican inspired breakfast entrees. I couldn't decide what I wanted so I went with the eggs Benedict which came with hash brown casserole. I also got a lemonade. My traveling partner got the Bacon Basil Tomato omelet with smoked cheddar and garlic aioli. We also got an order of ricotta pancakes with strawberries. My eggs Benedict was served on a unique bread - not a traditional English muffin - that kind of fell apart as I ate it. The flavor was great though. I should have gotten regular home fries, because the hashbrown casserole was cheesy and I wanted something to soak up the hollandaise and egg. The pancakes were so light they fell right apart when we began cutting into them. The flavor was great though. I would definitely recommend Phoebes.

Coming in you see so many seating options whether you wanna sit indoors or outdoors, they give you a choice. You go to the front and order your food and pay for it right away and they give you a number so they could bring the food to your table. My friend and I watched ordered an entree and I had to add a drink in to try it. Brisket & Eggs- really good! It was not salty and it was a perfect balance! I ordered mine with a soft scrambled and lowkey I should've gotten the sunny side up eggs. The brisket was moist and not salty like other brisket I have had. Along with the grits on the bottom, it was creamy and light. Overall a great dish. Blood Orange Lalo-ma- on a hot day in Texas, this is a must have! It's so refreshing and with it being fruity, it was definitely a great choice. Also it's not super sweet. Overall I like this place a lot! My friend really wanted me to try it and I finally was able to try it. Great customer service and items I would come back again. It's so good!
